High Performance Driving School – May 20-21, 2011
The first ASCC High Performance Driving School of 2011 will be held during the long weekend on May 20th and 21st, 2011. This session is open to anyone who wants to learn some of the more advanced techniques and track safety to qualify for a Lapping card or SoloSprint license for the 2011 season. Remember that you REQUIRE one of these licenses to drive at AMP outside of school or Slalom events! The High Performance Driving School will take place starting with a evening classsroom session on Friday May 20th followed by an all day track session at Atlantic Motorsport Park on Saturday May 21st. Entry fee is $200.00 which includes the Lapping card and/or Solosprint license for students who successfully complete the school. This course consists of a classroom session instructing students on the theory and physics of high performance driving as well as track safety and the following day consists entirely of on-track activities with small groups of students paired to experienced instructors.

The HPDS Students are required to bring the following:
– A safe street vehicle. If your vehicle can pass MVI its probably fine for the on-track sessions. Vehicles will be inspected for suitability (Brakes, Tires, etc) prior to the session. Convertible vehicles are NOT permitted without adequate rollover protection, most factory rollover protection is not enough so please check with the organizers. Please contact the organizers with questions regarding vehicle suitability. Students will be asked to complete a self-inspection checklist provided prior to the course.
– A Snell 2000M or newer ‘M’ rated helmet is acceptable, provided the car is not equipped with a roll cage or racing slicks. Cars with cages and/or slicks will require a Snell ‘SA’ rated helmet. Helmets meeting the following FIA standards are also approved.
- FIA 8860-2004
- Snell 2000 SA / 2005 SA / 2010 SA
- SFI Foundation 31.1A or 31.2A
- British Standards Institution BS 6658-85 type A/FR
If you do not have access to a helmet please contact the organizers as loaner helmets may be arranged with advance notice.

Hey there, what time should we all meet at AMP on the 20th?
I just asked the organizers to put together a schedule and locations addendum and to make sure everyone is notified. Friday the 20th is actually a classroom session, not at AMP itself. The final information will be updates/sent out shortly.
